This is a great golf course! It gets lots of play but somehow they manage to keep it in great shape. Lots of challenging shots, and, while not 'target' golf, it is by no means a resort course. It is a public course that has many beautiful views and a super friendly staff. Enjoy!

Ok so I travel to Carlsbad 5/6 times a year. I have played this course at least 50 times, I know I'm sick but I love the great ocean views. This year I even bought a membership although I live in Las Vegas . My experience with the front counter staff was awesome. Buying a home soon and will return.

When I made the tee time, no mention was made of the large renovation being made to the golf course. These guys are creeps. #16 is closed and in its place #11A-an 105 yards. Lots of work being done, lots of noise, lots of new sod patches, lots of workers. Several of the greens are half sanded. Do not go here for an enjoyable round of golf.

Pretty landscaped flowers and long distance ocean views can't justify $80 greens fees when so much course repair is ongoing after what appears to have been a period of long deferred maintenance. This course would be a better value if the greens fees were discounted at least 50% to reflect current course conditions. Greenskeepers and ground crew are playing catch-up big time now.

You'll find plenty of hard packed bunkers bereft of sand; greens under repair half covered in white sand; and bare spots and ground under repair on the fairways. The 9th hole is a good example. Hole 17 was closed for repair, which necessitated chopping up the par 5 No. 11th hole into a funky short par 3 No. 11(a) and a par 4 No. 11(b).

The course management is to be commended for finally getting around to making much needed improvements -- one bunker and one hole at a time. Problem is, they shouldn't be charging greens fees as though the course were in primo A-1 condition. There are better value courses elsewhere.
